If you like creative stuff and algorithmns you could try to use a creative coding framework like cinder, processing or open frameworks. I like implementing some easy algorithmns like bird flocking simulations, circle packing etc. There are many good examples on youtube (e.g.: The Coding Train) Those are fast and easy projects with the benefit of reaching a goal quick (after you learned the framework), getting to know algorithmns, getting to know languages and having visual feedback.
